Frankenweenie is the story of Victor, a young boy who brings his dog back to life as a canine Frankenstein's monster.

His creation soon escapes, however, and quickly causes havoc among Victor's fellow students, teachers, and the entire town.

The film is a feature-length remake of the stop-motion short that launched the Dark Shadows director's career in 1984, and features Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Martin Landau and Winona Ryder among its voice cast.

Frankenweenie will be released in UK cinemas on October 17 and in US cinemas on October 5.
